The April 2026 issue celebrates the first issue of Volume 11, marking ten years since the newsletter was started in 2015 by Dr. Mahendra Kumar Pal. This issue presents an undergraduate research spotlight on statistical modelling of infrastructure deterioration in Fujieda City using Markov chains, a research highlight on transparent ITO-CD and CWO-CD hybrid nanocomposites achieving up to 92% NIR and 85% UV-A blocking for energy-efficient window coatings, and three event reports covering the 16th ISAJ Annual Symposium 2025 in Shizuoka, an interaction with Prof. B.S. Murty (Director, IIT Hyderabad) in Tsukuba, and the JSPS 17th HOPE Meeting with Nobel Laureates.
